Dear OpenPLI team when will the image on the receiver uClan Ustym 4K PRO? Thanks in advance.

[WanWizard]

When the manufacturer asks us.

 

Looks very much like a Zgemma clone btw, are the chinese now cloning themselfs?

[Frenske]

This looks more like the Octagon sf8008.

[Persian Prince]

Yes sf8008=cc1=ustym4kpro

[Search40]

uClan Ustym 4K PRO (U2C Ustym 4K PRO) same with Octagon SF8008
next Hisilicon shit box from ukraina!
Price; 2300 грн > > 70€uro

This is what some one saying on other forum, it looks like is Ukrainian made in China, because the support forum is in Russian or Ukrainian.

It is how it works, you have an OEM manufacturer that makes a box, and local/regional distributors that sell it, usually using their own brand name.

 

This is a typical example, Octagon only has rights for the German market, all sales outside Germany is "grey import".

 

You see the same with the majority of the other brands, there are very few true manufacturers.

[Adrena]

It does not work like that.

The Chinese produce a "engine", in this case Hisilicon Hi3798MV200 which is used in different boxes.. If Octagon uses a Chinese processor, it is no longer a real producer?

You can ask about the same thing that connects Mercedes with Romanian Dacia?

The Mercedes-Benz A-Class is already in its fourth generation. Since the introduction of the latest model, the manufacturer offers several engine options. The A180d under the bonnet is a 1.5-liter Renault dCi diesel engine, also used by Dacia and Nissan.

That's how it works.

[Frenske]

AFAIK most OEM product only have some minor differences where it comes to external layout (color) and of cource the brand logo.

Besides this some brand related details in the original firmware so in the about screen the info is according the brandname. And that is all that usually differs from the original’ design.

 

The comparison with cars is IMHO completely different. Where there is Renault there also was a Dacia if I recall right. Some models looked kind of the same somewhere in the sixtieth in Western Europe most people preferred the Renault 12 above the Dacia 1300 if I recall right. This is just an example.

You failed to see the point. This was not about the SoC.

 

A manufacturer designs and fabricates his own unique products. An OEM manufacturer creates unbranded designs for others to market. Sometimes specific for one brand, sometimes the design is available under different brands.

 

These brands do not design anything, they just order OEM hardware with specifications, and stick their logo on it.

 

Downside (for us users) is that as soon as the hardware is no longer profitable, these OEM distributors drop it as a brick and move on, leaving us (users) with an unsupported box.

Well if it,s " the same" as 8008 you should be able to flash for excample Openatv image.

[littlesat]

Dacia and Renault are a bit different as the box around the car (chassis) is made in a complete different plant.... only parts inside are coming from Renault.... here it is the same box but a different label....
But not conpletely true... I saw a polish car last time that was a Dacia Logan mcv, but branded as Renault... and that looks wierd...

[Persian Prince]

I thought we only have "hisi3798mv200" but there are more in the market:

 

hisi3798cv200

 

hisi3716mv410

[isteric2005]

Is it not possible to take an openpli image already compiled for octagonsf8008 and convert it to uclan?

Edited by isteric2005, 25 April 2020 - 15:48.

[WanWizard]

If they are really identical (like the HD2400 / AX2400 or HD51 / AX51 ), then probably yes. But you don't know until you try .

 

disclaimer: completely at your own risk!

[isteric2005]

if you do the multiboot test you should risk less.

 

How to do?

 

I did some tests that openpli installs without problems .... on boot a flashing red message appears on the monitor saying that the software is not compatible with the receiver.

Ustym 4K ...where is extensions kodi ...where i can find .

[Frenske]

I don’t know at the moment whether Kodi is in the build. I’ll check tomorrow.

[WanWizard]

There is no Kodi available for it (same is true for the Octagon SF8008 and the Gigablue Trio 4K).

 

It is not enabled in the BSP by the vendors, and it needs to be, Kodi needs GL drivers (support) supplied by the vendor.

Problema con backup con backupsuite per backup immagine openpli.
Backupsuite crea i file senza problemi,  quando faccio il restore/recupero su un altro decoder UCLAN USTYN 4k pro finisce il trasferimento ma dopo il boot il decoder non parte.
Provato con la OPENPLI 7.3 e 8.0  e versioni diverse di backupsuite ma il problema è lo stesso.
Come potrei risolvere ?
